I just launched my new software Tube Automator on the 23rd of August and it gets mentioned at techcrunch on the same day…WOW!!

The downside is that the poster is a self righteous individual who thinks that gaming stats in this manner is wrong… not that I care

“I have no idea whether it works or not. ” is what he says.. well the case study I made into a video pretty much proves that it does work… but then again people are so paranoid that they think screen capture videos can be edited and retouched just like in the movies

Ive been trying to automate posting to one site for a while now and the code suddenly started failing with the message 417 expectation failed. Im using vb.net and the httpwebrequest and httpwebresponse classes.

The problem apparently is that the request gets sent with a Expect:100 continue header that this server doesn’t seem to like. Reverting back to http 1.0 wasn’t the best solution obviously…

The solution was to use set the property .ServicePoint.Expect100Continue of the webrequest to False.

Setting this worked fine, but when I used a proxy with the call, it failed as the proxy sent the 100 continue header on its own. The solution that I finally found was to add this code in your app.config file

<configuration>
<system .net>
<settings>
<servicepointmanager expect100Continue="false" />
</settings>
</system>
</configuration>

This works perfectly now

Since the past 6 months I’ve been hearing buzz on Google starting a CPA network.. looks like that’s finally become a reality. The Google CPA network is still in beta and is asking for signups at the time of writing this.

I wonder if this move is to attract affiliates who are sick of the miniscule payments that Google has been paying so far( almost as low as 5 cents per click, as opposed to almost $1 clicks a year ago in the same niche) and have moved to CPA networks…
